President’s Letter
Hello, everyone! Fall is most definitely in the air in Duluth as I write this letter and I find myself wondering how the summer went by so fast! With many activities that had been on hold the last couple of years happening again and work taking place both at the office and at home, I found that my summer schedule filled up fast and I imagine many of you had a similar experience. I hope you had time to enjoy your favorite activities with friends and family this summer. As I enter my final few months as MGWA president, I am excited about what our organization has accomplished and what is to come for the remainder of the year.
